What is this?

Just a quick demo how to use Symfony Serializer component.

Question

Someone asked following on Symfony Slack workspace;

Hello, I've request body as following:

{
   "name": "David",
   "siblings": [
       {
            "name": "Brother's Name"
       }
   ]
}

How do I make Serializer to serialize "siblings" as SiblingDto ? This array-of-object serialization is seem to not be working, can't find anything on symfony doc

So this repository contains simple example how to make that happen.

TL;DR

  • You need to install phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock

OR

  • You need to implement "add" methods to your classes

OR

  • Use composer require symfony/serializer-pack if you're using Symfony framework

IF you're using docblock annotations in your DTOs.

Installation

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Run composer install
  3. Run symfony serve
  4. Open shown URL with your browser
  5. Profit
